Warrington Wolves journey to the North East this weekend as Dacia Magic Weekend 2021 returns to Newcastle United's St James' Park after two years away. Wire take on Wigan Warriors on Sunday 5 May, 3:15 KO.

With just three games remaining in the regular season a win would secure third place in the table and keep pressure on Catalans and St Helens at the top.

After a hard fought intense battle with Saints last time out, Steve Price said 'he was proud of his team' but knows that 'there are areas that they need to work on.' - Warrington lead at half time through tries from Ben Currie and George Williams but a second half fight back from Saints meant it was defeat for the Wire.

This will be the third meeting between the sides this season with Warrington looking to make it three wins from three after two impressive wins earlier in the campaign.

A hat-trick from Jake Mamo helped Wire to a dominant 14-40 win at the DW in round twelve with a solid home performance to back it up with a second win against Adrian Lam's side in a 21-8 win in round 16.

St James' Park hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Warrington with one draw and three defeats from previous trips to Newcastle. Wire beat the Warriors at the last Magic to be held at Anfield in 2019 and will be aiming for a repeat performance and result on Sunday.
